Los Angeles officials monitoring rising use of flesh-rotting “zombie drug”.

“It’s really gruesomely disfiguring people,” Drug Enforcement Administration special agent Bill Bodner told KTLA.

“In the greater Los Angeles area, we are seeing xylazine as an additive within fake fentanyl pills,” DEA LA Field Division spokesperson Nicole Nishida told the newspaper.

 “While the numbers are relatively low in our community compared to elsewhere in the United States, the presence of xylazine is now becoming more frequent and the trend is concerning.”
